A True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Experience Unlike Anything Else...

True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Theater With The Dinner Detective: 100+ Locations Worldwide!

At The Dinner Detective True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Show, you’ll tackle a hilarious and challenging crime while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for a unique true crime event that is very different from a typical traditional murder mystery dinner show. Our shows are set in the present day and the actors are not dressed in costume but rather are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Our engaging and unique murder mystery dinner theatre performances have been playing across the country since 2004.  Join us for an evening full of intrigue, hilarity, and unscripted moments you simply can’t find anywhere else!

Unlike a typical murder mystery dinner theatre performance, you won’t be watching a handful of actors stiffly reciting lines in front of the room. The action happens all around you, and any person in the audience can end up being a part of the show, even YOU! Throughout the night, you’ll find yourself wondering if what just happened was scripted or real!

Since our Los Angeles Grand Opening in 2004, The Dinner Detective has quickly become the largest murder mystery dinner show in the United States. Our signature blend of intrigue, comedy, and spontaneity has enthralled millions of guests at our public and private shows.

Come see what all the fuss is about and join us at an upcoming murder mystery dinner show! Or if you are buying tickets for someone special, we offer gift certificates as well!

Murder mystery gift certificates are a unique, fun, and entertaining gift idea! Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Gift Certificates are a great choice for any adult on your list. Our Gift Certificates will send your friends and family on a mysterious and hilarious journey to solve a crime before our Detectives do!

Our true crime mystery gift certificates are perfect for the December holidays, birthday gifts, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gifts, Valentine’s Day presents for your sweetheart(s), graduation gifts, or any other occasion!

The Dinner Detective regularly performs in 80+ locations across the country, and we offer both public and private shows every month.  We’ve been featured in dozens of “best of” lists and websites nationwide, winning Best Murder Mystery Show and Best Dinner Theater many times over.

We also offer customized private events and group murder mystery parties at each of our locations, any night of the week! We have entertained tens of thousands of companies and private groups across the country, both large and small, and we’d love to craft a once-in-a-lifetime event for your team as well.

We can host murder mystery dinner theatre parties of almost any size, at our onsite locations and offsite at the venue of your choice!

Our professionally-trained actors have performed and taught worldwide, with credits from esteemed improv training centers such as UCBSecond CityiO and iO Westthe Voodoo Comedy Playhouse, and Annoyance Theater, and with credits in Better Call Saul, Orange Is The New Black, Jurassic World, Preacher, National Treasure, Kicking & Screaming, and dozens of other shows and theaters.

It sounds like something out of a psychological thriller: a wealthy socialite and her son, bound by loyalty and greed, weave a trail of fraud, deception, and murder across the country. The story begins with Sante Kimes, a con artist infamous for her schemes. Together with her son Kenneth, she orchestrates elaborate plots, from identity theft to real estate scams. But it doesn’t stop there.

In one case, an associate who uncovered their forgery ended up dead. In another, an elderly socialite mysteriously vanished after they set their sights on her mansion. The pair’s crimes were so meticulous that it took years for investigators to piece it all together.

The son later confessed, claiming he acted under his mother’s orders. But is this a tale of familial manipulation and murder—or a cleverly spun narrative to hide even darker truths? You decide.
